About this item

The third series of America the Beautiful is back in a revised edition. The books in this series are bursting with fascinating facts, updated statistics, and brand-new full-color photographs. America the Beautiful's dynamic design and editorial approach to the geography, history, people, economy, and government of each state will continue to make this award-winning series the one that students turn to first for researching school assignments. Flanked on either side by two of the nation's mightiest rivers, Iowa's fertile rolling hills have made it one of the country's leading sources of agriculture. Readers will discover what grows in Iowa's vast, sprawling fields. They will also learn how the state was founded, what role it has played in U.S. history, and what life is like today in the Hawkeye State.
